Insufficient significat coverage indicates lack of notability, fails WP:GNG. Lack of multiple significant roles in notable films, fails WP:NACTOR. AmirŞah 19:30, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Actors and filmmakers, Bands and musicians, and Pakistan. AmirŞah 19:30, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - I have added refereces from The Express Tribune, Dawn, Geo, Jang, GulfNews, BOL News,The News and Daily Times. These all sources are considered as reliable for Pakistani related topics. There is much more coverage on Urdu Languages news portals. Subject is mentioned here in more than 3 dozans pages of Wikipedia, which shows his significant coverage only on WP. Yes he acted in one film but this page in not only based on that film. He Has had significant roles in multiple notable television dramas, so WP:NACTOR is not issue.Ameen Akbar (talk) 20:27, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it clearly has WP:GN. I really can't see why it has been nominated for deletion in the first place.142.181.162.174 (talk) 22:44, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The subject has some significant press coverage both in English and Urdu. Also appeared in the recently released block buster film The Legend of Maula Jatt and in some notable dramas. Therefore, overall passes WP:GNG. Insight 3 (talk) 03:59, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:GNG criteria 1, 2, 3. He is not just an Actor. Fifthapril (talk) 07:40, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All links ypu mentioned are not considered as WP:SIGCOV from WP:RS. AmirŞah 09:09, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree on the first two, but the third and last reference provided here is significant independent RS.4meter4 (talk) 14:06, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4: Could you kindly let us know your idea about this article? I think sources are not significant, independent and reliable simultaneously. AmirŞah 09:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes WP:BASIC. One of the quality independent sources says he is Pakistan’s most popular rapper, and overall the sources are focused on his work in music and not film. In particular the Times of India piece provided by Fifthapril, and the “Soundcheck: Injecting Immunity” piece in Dawn cited in the article are examples of independent significant RS. Many of the other sources are press releases and interviews and passing mentions, but I think overall there is enough here to demonstrate GNG has been met.4meter4 (talk) 14:03, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. AmirŞah 14:28, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep has coverage in many newspapers. Partofthemachine (talk) 18:10, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
